Does anyone have pictures of an original or aftermarket 1951 F-1 5 Star seat? I jar it was 2 tone, not sure or the colors.
This is the last item I need to do on mine to be as close to original.
Thanks in advance

 

Here's pics I've grabbed off eBay to use when I get to that stage. I assume this "5 Star Extra" interior is what you are wanting. The "5 Star" was the base option. I don't have good pics of that. Stu

 

Thank you so very much, this is exactly what I was looking for.

 

Here's my aftermarket seat cover. Made by Raybuck's, check out their website.
It's a very nice cover that fit well and has held up pretty good.

The factory 5 Star Extra pattern and color combination is available in kit form from LaBaron Bonney. Stu

So is there a website or personal knowledge that says what the seat looked like? I have a 51 f2 and was wondering the same thing what is the right color?

 

They were gray and red. With all exterior paint colors. Wonderful with some, but I never have liked it with Meadow Green. That bottom pic is I suspect the LeBaron Bonney kit. The first two are from an unrestored fire truck iirc. Stu

 

I think I am going to have a custom seat cover made to match the original design but use a light blue, light beige and red piping to match the truck better.

 

I have an old photograph (remember them) pinned to my shelf out in the shop of a gorgeous Sheridan Blue F-1 with a custom blue/gray interior matching the factory "Extra" trim. Very attractive. Stu

 

Stu,
Any chance I can get you to take a electronic photo of it? Much appreciated.

 

Did it work?

 

That is real pretty and yet to a casual truck person , they would think it is stock.

 

Love the baby blue truck! Also love the "Pink Heals"

 

Yeah, fooled me. Then I learned otherwise. Stu

 

Thanks Moe, I am pretty fond of her as well. That is a pic of her prior to her new paint job, thanks to the Napa Earthquake.
Here she is fresh out of paint. I think I get her back next Friday. I can hardly wait, been almost 3 months.
